I can recall, with ease, the first day I met Adam Kimmel. It was in New York in the studio of his then creative agency, where I worked, he seemed to be a bit untouchable with this cool-kid-designer vibe, directly linked to the social and artistic hierarchal communities of New York City. Being nearly the same age and a fresh transplant to the city I could not help but wonder how this savant was so charmed - was it life circumstance or pure talent.

Easily answered it is the latter, after fifteen minutes with the American designer it became apparent to me and anyone who meets him that despite the "brother of", "friend of", "husband of" chatter around him Kimmel is simply a talent-beyond-his-years, making intelligent yet approachable clothes for everyman - well lets be honest for every man who can afford his lux-goods.

Kimmel often draws inspiration and reference from his peers, collaborating with many of today's most creative personalities: anyone from provocative artists and curators to indie entertainers to the even more obscurely - cowboys. Whether he is putting David Blaine in an uncontrolled shark tank or casting an entire hip-hop crew to present his collection in Paris, he seems always a few steps ahead of the rest.

Filmmaker Benjamin Morsberger captures a series of intimate moments with the designer in his home and in his studio, recalling private memories while he shares his archived footage from the past and prepares his S/S 12 collection.

You are invited to take a look at his friends, collaborators and projects that in part helped define the influential designer.
